When I moved into your home and brought my dog with me, you were aloof at first, but I knew the first time you took a nap with me that we would share a bond. You became Soldier’s best friend and sibling and I was so happy about that. By the time you left us, I loved you just as much as the rest of my new family had always loved you.

In late October of this year, I posted “Losing Peanut Butter: Is My Senior Cat Dying?” In it, I talked about my fear that our elderly (18 years!) tortoiseshell cat was dying. She was weak, had lost a lot of weight and had recently gone blind due to complications of high blood pressure. She rallied in early November. She had gained almost a pound (that’s a lot when you only weight six pounds), was maneuvering around the house well and seemed to be adjusting well to her recent blindness.

You’ve been busy decking the halls, baking the cookies and wrapping the presents. You also feel guilty because in all the hoopla of the holidays, your pet hasn’t been included in the festivities. Every time you fly through the family room on the way out the door, you tell yourself that you’ll find the time to take him for a walk or break out the catnip toys.

There are hundreds of 2017 Holiday Gift Guides for pets scattered across the Internet. Many of them are helpful, others not so much. I’ve been reading those gift guides for pets and taken notes (I’ll be shopping for Soldier and Peanut Butter soon). I’ve visited countless stores and talked to manufacturers and pet experts, including dog groomers, pet behaviorists and veterinarians.

Soldier: “Hi! It’s me, Soldier. Mom’s taking a break today and letting Peanut Butter and me write about what we’re thankful for. Gosh, this is going to be a long list! The hardest part will probably be keeping it short and not too heavily focused on what Peanut Butter likes. She can be very overbearing, and she’s booped me on the snoot enough that I know I don’t want to go down THAT road again…but I digress… oh, hey, did I ever tell you about the time I actually caught a squirrel and Mom made me let it go?

When celebrating YOUR 12 Days of Christmas this year, please give a thought to all the pets who will be spending the holidays in shelters and rescues. A donation of your time, money or supplies for the dogs and cats will help provide a safe and happy place for many animals until they can find their furever homes.
